Breast Augmentation Revision

Breast augmentation revision is a surgery performed to make corrections or changes to existing breast implants; this procedure can correct any deformities resulting from a previous breast augmentation, replace worn-out implants, reduce the implant size, and reposition the implants for better symmetry. Common reasons patients may need a revision include capsular contracture, implant rupture or leakage, implant displacement, and dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the original breast augmentation. Undergoing breast augmentation surgery is a personal decision. If the initial results are not what the patient expected, it can be difficult to go through with a second operation. There may be concerns about how this next surgery will play out–will the outcomes finally meet expectations?

Dr. Bonillas and his staff understand that choosing to undergo surgery is a big decision. That’s why we are here to provide you with the resources and support needed for a successful outcome. We encourage patients to ask questions, express concerns, and discuss their expectations before making any final decisions regarding breast augmentation revision.

The Breast Augmentation Revision Procedure

Last time, you may have begun your surgery without any previous incisions. This time,  however, Dr. Bonillas may need to make a few small adjustments to existing incisions to access the implant pocket and remove the old implants. Depending on what needs to be done, he may also use an endoscope (tiny camera) inserted through one of these incisions to get a better view of the area. ^[3]

Once all revisions have been made, Dr. Bonillas will insert the new implants carefully into place and check for symmetry, size, and shape before closing the incisions. Afterward, you will be taken to a recovery room until cleared by our team.

Recovery After Surgery

Immediately following surgery, you may feel some tenderness or discomfort in the breasts, but this should subside soon with the help of oral pain medication. Though you may experience some swelling and bruising, these will gradually fade. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Dr. Bonillas will provide additional instructions for postoperative care, such as how to manage your medications, what type of bra to wear, and when you can start exercising again. He will also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is going smoothly.

It is important to follow these instructions closely to ensure a safe and successful recovery. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask Dr. Bonillas or one of our knowledgeable staff members. We want you to be well-informed and comfortable after the surgery.
